Thank you Darren,What would you recommend instead? EX6100?&nbsp;Thanks,Ludovico

none of the extenders will handle DHCP you will have to use a router for that.

&nbsp;I see from&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/24431/How-to-enable-NAT-of-EX6100 you can enable NAT on an EX6100.&nbsp;&nbsp;What device will assign IP addresses to the clients behind NAT? Will the EX6100 assign addresses?Or are you saying that&nbsp;NAT on a&nbsp;EX6100 will not work without an additional router?&nbsp;Do you have a router that can also act as ane extender?&nbsp;

For the records, I have bought an EX6100 and,&nbsp;comtrary to what stated above, it supports acting as NAT, DHCP, and DNS server.
